Abstract excerpt
The matricellular glycoprotein products of the SPP1 and SPARC genes play critical roles in many aggressive tumor phenotypes including gastric cancer. We sought to test whether the polymorphisms of these two genes, individually or jointly, influence gastric cancer susceptibility. Nine potentially functional, tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (tagSNPs) of SPP1 and SPARC were selected and detected using the...
